• You can add grated carrots, chopped spinach, or grated coconut to the batter for added flavor and nutrition.
• If you don't have a steamer, you can use an idli cooker or a pressure cooker without the whistle.
• Make sure the batter is thick but pourable. If it is too thick, add a little water to adjust the consistency.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover idlis can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat the idlis, steam them again for a few minutes or microwave them for 30 seconds.
• Serve the idlis hot with coconut chutney, sambar, or any other accompaniment of your choice.
